Beavers ink 2-game series with San Jose State

Oregon State University and San Jose State University have agreed to a home-and-home football series, which will begin Sept. 19, 2015 at Reser Stadium in Corvallis. The Beavers will travel to Spartan Stadium in San Jose, Calif., Sept. 9, 2020.

The meeting will be the first for the two programs since Oct. 4, 1997 when the Beavers, under first-year head coach Mike Riley, defeated the Spartans at then Parker Stadium 26-12. The victory marked the third consecutive in the series for OSU that also includes a 1987 win at home 36-34 and a 1988 victory at San Jose 41-27. Overall, the Beavers have a 3-2 advantage against the Spartans, with San Jose State winning games in 1979 and 1982.
